Greeting to "The Lößnitzgrund calls 2023"

The highly interesting valley of the Lößnitzbach stream formed after the last ice age, when the melting water created deep gullies and side valleys and accumulated alluvial sand at the edges. On the other hand, rock masses of syenite and granite folded and almost reached the banks of the Elbe. Different formations with their different vegetation, such as beeches, pines, oaks, rhododendrons and vines can be found here, and the rock faces are home to the kestrel.
Our call to walk along the Lößnitzgrund is intended to make it possible to experience all these beauties instead of speeding along the narrow roads by car.
We want to meet at a particularly beautiful spot, where a tributary leads along the village ground from Wahnsdorf to the Lößnitzbach stream. It was here in the Lößnitzgrund that the great visionaries of Radebeul, Karl May and Friedrich Eduard Bilz, dreamed of the future state. Farmers used to grind their grain here in 7 mills, which were then turned into restaurants. The dammed Lößnitzbach stream was used for canoeing here. The narrow-gauge railway has been running here since 1884, connecting the Lößnitzgrund with the hinterland. We want to get to know and appreciate these, our regional, nearby beauties, and enjoy them.
With this in mind, I wish us all a happy get-together.
